he Judiciary is staring at numerous court cases arising from the August 8th General Elections, as losers plan to challenge their lose on the corridors of justice.
At least 11 governor candidates have indicated they will be moving to the court to contest their rivals’ win and try save themselves from staying in political darkness in the next five years.
Many of them have cited irregularities during the voting and tallying of votes as reasons why the lost to opponents.
Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), who lost to Jubilee's Mike Sonko, Meru governor Peter Munya of Party of National Unity (PNU), who lost to Jubilees Kiraitu Murungi, Taita Taveta’s John Mruttu (ODM), who suffered defeat in the hands of Wiper’s Granton Samboja and Kajiado’s David Nkedianye (ODM) who lost to Jubilee' Joseph ole Lenku have expressed their dissatisfaction with the elections outcome and have vowed to contest before a Judge.
Others are Nyamira Jubilee party candidate Walter Nyambati who was defeated by incumbent John Nyagarama (ODM) and Turkana Senator John Munyes of Jubilee, who was trounced by incumbent Josphat Nanok (ODM), Kisii Senator Chris Obure (Jubilee), who was edged out by incumbent James Ongwae (ODM), and Kakai Bisau (Jubilee) who was trounced by Trans Nzoia Governor Patrick Khaemba of Ford Kenya and Embu Maendeleo Chap Chap governor candidate Lenny Kivuti who narrowly lost to incumbent Martin Wambora of Jubilee will also challenge the results in court.
“Ballot papers for Runyenjes have been tampered with. Some boxes had water,” Lenny Kivuti said. Machakos Wiper candidate Wavinya Ndeti, who lost to incumbent Alfred Mutua of Maendeleo Chap Chap and former Ambassador to Tanzania Chirau Mwakwere (Wiper), trounced by Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya of Jubilee are also likely to try to discredit their rival's victories in the corridors of justice.
Chief Justice David Maraga said the Judiciary was ready to handle election petitions and urged candidates dissatisfied with results to file petitions in court. “I will, if necessary, allow our judicial officers to work outside the official hours — into the night and through weekends — to ensure we keep to the constitutional timelines without compromising on the quality of rulings,” Maraga said.

I think Lenny has some chance - he lost by 200 votes- and maybe Mrutu & those from counties where the contest was close - otherwise the rest unless they are raising other grounds - like bribery like Kombo versus Wetangula - have no chance in court.

Pin this up and let us compare notes. I think you will be surprised at how many of these seats will be lost via petition. Devolution will even get very messier as citizens get disillusioned after Waiguru, Ngilu and other greenhorns underperform.

I am tired of pinning stuff up esp against novices. I mean my political punditry speak for itself. You need to pin that up and remind me 1yr later how this went.

Lol you are a god.. by the way now my inlaws in central are backing Raila petition. Their thinking is that Uhuru needs to be challenged to fix the economy or he will go back to drinking fuaaaaaaaah. They feel that Raila has earned their respect as a worthy opponent and needs to be supported so that he can check GOK..

Your inlaws have good intention but are largely ignorant. This legal challenge is only for 14 days. After which UhuRuto will continue driving the country forward..with little resistance or opposition. But Ruto will make sure Uhuru delivers because he'll be running on the back of what he has done. If you do a good job like UhuRutu or Mutua - you'll get re-elected.
The campaign for 2022 start in harness 1) by delivering 2) by politicking. The people to watch are governors on their final term - Mutua, Joho, etc - my bet is Ruto will focus on them - he will buy or convince or politically finish off those who resist his overtures. The 5 principals are going to be in for rough ride from those governors.

my inlaws do understand the political reality but they know that this should be changed. As matter of fact they feel that the current path is not good for them or their grand kids. they want the new Central MPs to take a role of oversight over Uhuru and Ruto cabinet

You mean the 54% you "predicted"? Please get a grip.

Mutua was rigged in. He did no good work.
I challenged you to show me some of that "good work". He is the only governor caught stealing the largest amount of cash and went to Jubilee to avoid being charged. He is free thanks to a court order barring ODPP from instituting charges he has already recommended. All charges are Corruption and Theft related.
